Users can explore and install apps directly from iPhone and iPad, but it requires the desktop version running in background on the same network to work. Since these apps should theoretically be installed from Xcode, AltStore simulates that process with a companion app made for Mac and Windows. This way, Apple simply can’t shut down AltStore unless they change something deeper on iOS system with a future update. The tool basically tricks the device into thinking it’s installing apps made by yourself. Developer Riley Testut announced today this alternative solution to the iOS App Store that will not requires jailbreak tools, making it available even for users on iOS 13.Īccording to an article on Testut’s personal blog, AltStore uses the feature that Apple gives to developers for testing their apps on real devices, rather than enterprise certificates which can be easily cracked down on by Apple. Some workarounds eventually appear on the web, but they usually require a jailbroken device. iPhone and iPad users can’t install apps like console emulators, Torrent clients, and more.
Apple has some strict rules about what can be published on its App Store.
